In order to use the digital ID card on the smartphone, the online ID function must be activated. After activation, users receive a letter with their personal PIN, PUK and the blocking pass.

Use of the Ausbahrzapp2

The “Ausbahrzapp2” is required for practical use. This app acts as an interface between the chip in the ID and the various online service providers. A current update of the app has introduced an improved user interface, but no longer supports MacOS Monterey 12. Older iOS versions such as iOS 14 and 15 are no longer supported.

The Eidas Ordinance does not provide for a harmonization to a uniform European oath, but promotes the interoperability of national systems. Member States have the option of voluntarily notifying their national identification systems at the European Commission. This measure is intended to facilitate mutual recognition of Eids in administrative procedures, which has been mandatory since September 29, 2018.

The trust in the use of electronic identification data is structured according to different levels: "low", "substantial" and "high". Only identification means that were registered accordingly in the notification procedure can be recognized as "substantial" or "high".
